Best techie Mother's Day gifts

Gifts for a tech-savvy mom

With Mother's Day quickly approaching, you may be looking for the perfect Mother's Day gifts that Mom and Grandma will love. These technology gifts are sure to please both tech-savvy moms and emerging techies alike.

iPad 2

The iPad2 is extremely user-friendly, making it perfect for people who are not tech-savvy. With a touch-screen, built-in WiFi and 3G capable, and hundreds of apps available for download from the App store, there are endless entertainment options available.

Casio Tryx

This 12 megapixel camera is perfect for that mom who always seems to be taking the pictures but is never actually in the pictures. Along with the HDMI output and the ability to upload pictures to Facebook and Twitter directly from the camera, there's a motion-sensitive self-timer that allows Mom to step in front of the lens with the rest of the family.

Nikon D3100

This is a great camera to break into the DSLR market -- it's easy to use and less expensive than other models available in the market. Great for the mom who loves capturing all the special moments like sporting events or for catching all those great smiles from babies and toddlers.

Kindle

Lighter and thinner than a paperback book, this is great for Mom to toss in her purse for when she has a couple extra minutes to catch up on some reading. Perfect for the sidelines or the beach because you can read the Kindle in bright sunlight, the screen will make you feel like you're reading paper-and-ink book.

Violight UV Cell Phone Sanitizer

Perfect for the hygiene-conscious, or any mom whose phone goes through thick and thin, day in and day out. Just stick the phone in the small tube and press the button -- five 5 minutes later, the phone is free of germs.
